What to expect when your child is participating in an fMRI study at MIT
[MUSIC PLAYING] PRESENTER: Welcome to MIT. Today, you are going to take a trip in our special rocket ship. It lives inside this building. Our space crew will meet you when you arrive. We'll start out in our playroom. We will take some time to settle in. You can read a book or play with toys. Your caregiver will fill out some paperwork.
We will measure how tall you are. Then, we will check how much you weigh. If you'd like, you can choose some friends to bring with you into the rocket ship. We will use our magic wand to make sure that our friends are ready to go in the rocket ship.
Green means, good to go. We will also use our magic wand to make sure you are green and good to go. You will need to take off your shoes. No shoes in the spaceship. Your caregiver will change into a special spacesuit. Before going in the rocket ship, you get to spin in a circle for our second metal detector. Green means, good to go.
Welcome to our rocket ship control room. You can pick out a sticker to put on our rocket ship. This is our rocket ship. You can sit on the nice comfy bed. First, we will put in headphones so that you can hear your videos. Next, we will put a special headband on top.
It's time to lay down. We'll give you squishy pillows to make sure your head is snuggled and cozy. Next comes your space helmet. When we add this mirror on top, you can see your videos. Time for blast off.
In the rocket ship, you will get to watch videos. The rocket ship will make some noises while blasting through space. We'll be with you the whole time. While you are in the rocket ship, we will take pictures of your brain. All done.
Back in the control room, you can look at the pictures of your brain. Before you leave, you can pick out one special toy to take home. We will also give you a new MIT T-shirt. We hope you have a fun trip to space. See you soon.
